Arjun Rampal, the macho man of Bollywood is well known for his great work in movies like Om Shanti Om, Raajneeti and We Are Family.

This is one actor who has been appreciated for his negative roles as much as for his positive ones. However, now the actor is all set to appear in one of the most expensive Hindi movies ever made titled Ra.One, which is being made under Shahrukh Khan’s home production.

Arjun Rampal who plays the bad guy in the movie had to sweat it out for an entire four to five months of rigorous training to get into the right look of the character he plays in the movie.

Ra.One, which is a science- fiction, has Shahrukh enacting the role of G.One in it and his hard work and dedication has been quite an inspiration for Arjun Rampal too. So much so that Arjun went on to publicly state that Shahrukh’s passion was contagious.

The hard work and dedication that he has gone in to make this movie is truly something which is worth appreciating.

Ra.One is full of action and thrill and reports are that the fight sequences between Arjun Rampal and SRK is something extremely fiery and dangerous and no stone has been left unturned to depict the enormity of the fights.

Arjun Rampal and Shahrukh Khan were great to watch in Om Shanti Om and with this movie getting bigger and better, the chemistry between the two honchos is something everyone is waiting to see.

A fresh poster of the movie is out with Shahrukh sporting the G.One look with blue eyes et al, this movie is certainly one of the most awaited this year.

As strange as it sounds, the by now released Abhishek Bachchan starrer Raavan sounds similar to the forthcoming Ra. One by Shah Rukh Khan.

SRk quite naturally found himself in a bit of perplexity when the fans were at first confused between the two titles. Apart from the spelling, the plot and even the star casts and the story are very dissimilar. Ra. One is a science fiction film while Raavan was more of a modern version of the heroic tale.

Shahrukh is taking all possible steps to make his upcoming film Ra One a super hit. After signing Senegalese-American R&B singer Akon for the film, now the superstar has convinced the martial arts specialist Chinese-American actor Tom Wu for acting in Ra One.

Known for his expertise in martial arts, Tom Wu will look after the action department.

Arjun Rampal hasn’t been happier. Whether it was ‘Rock On’, ‘Om Shanti Om’ or ‘Housefull’, he did see good appreciation coming his way. In fact he also fetched a National award for himself after ‘Rock On’. However, the acclaim that he has received ever since the release of ‘Raajneeti’ has been, in his own words, unprecedented. No wonder, he truly believes that the month gone by has been akin to a dream, which he doesn’t want to break.

Arjun Rampal is letting his feet down and relaxing at his spacious penthouse in the 21st floor in the suburbs when I meet him for this interview post success of Raajneeti which has garnered for him a lot of accolades for his sterling performance, as an astute politician. As his maid servant serves us hot steaming cup of coffee, Arjun tells me that right now that entire he is doing is to absorb the reactions of people who have seen his film.

“Who says that good films do not work at the box office? Rajneeti has definitely proved that a film which has a running time of 2.45 minutes and a story which is rooted to the earth and without songs can work universally. The brilliant performance of the entire cast is being spoken about. I feel that it is a huge step for the whole film industry”, quips Arjun.

On Raajneeti success – Raajneeti is not only a big film but also one of the most expensive films. My character also had lots to do. It was very essential for the film to run, and when a film like this does well not only in India but overseas as well, when the audience appreciate such kind of characters and films then it makes you feel that yes writers should write such films, something which is good , which is going to make the industry grow and take a step forward. I feel satisfied, happy and feel a kind of connection with the audience- that for me is the biggest high. The film lived up to all the expectations.

Prakash Jha’s multi-starrer Rajneeti hits theatres today, and had its premiere last night! The premiere was attended by various celebs of the tinsel town, who were very excited to watch the politics cum Mahabharata flick.

It is said that the epic saga of Mahabharata contains all the stories that exist in this world, be it lies, deceit, lust for power, revenge. In short all those that can make a solid impact. Prakash Jha taking a cue from this has set his big canvass film Rajneeti against an Indian political backdrop. But then at the same time he has merged dollops of The Godfatherwithin it. Nonetheless, the end product makes a compelling watch.
